GENERAL PROGRAM INFORMATION

The Bachelor's Completion Degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice Online Program is designed with the criminal justice and law enforcement professional in mind. This 66-credit hour program, combined with the appropriate lower-division undergraduate coursework, will lead to either a B.A. from UT Arlington, or a B.S. from UT Brownsville and UT Permian Basin. Consult Dr. Robert Hollmann at UT Permian Basin about the program. UT Dallas and UT El Paso will also be contributing coursework for the program.

The online format is designed to meet the educational needs of traditional and non-traditional students, allowing them to continue part-time or full-time work. No on-campus visits are required. Participants in the program learn about crime causation, criminal justice issues, juvenile justice, law enforcement, courts, corrections, and law. Each 3-credit course will be conducted over the Internet by the same talented faculty teaching on-campus.

In the context of a well-rounded education, the online completion degree provides students with access to a four-year degree in criminal justice, with the online program comprising primarily of junior and senior level coursework. The degree program prepares students for professional careers and advancement opportunities in criminal justice or related fields and is designed for students who have already completed their first two years of undergraduate courses.
